He's been much better in last 15+ games. Suzuki/KK aren't really good enough to let him go. Hopefully he gets re-signed at a decent price.

He's gonna want too much, imo...I don't see him settling for a contract under what a Pageau makes on the Island...we'll see, but I'd personally move him now or get that contract signed; waiting until after the season is a mistake...
My main issue with re-signing him will be the length of the deal.
2 year deal? I'd love to have him back! 6 years? Hell no. Problem is that he's 28 though and will likely be looking to cash in on his main chance at a long-term deal. Maybe we get lucky and sign him to a 4x4 kind of deal, I'd do that especially if we can somehow get out of the last 2 years of Byron's deal by trading him along with a pick to a bad team.

I agree. 6 years is too much. 4.5x4 would be a solid contract for both sides imo but I'm pretty sure Danault can get a bit more in free agency.

and we leaves the last 2 seasons ? I agree that 5m is probably to much but under that you resign him

No Prime Plek was defintely better, he also got rewarded as such. He got a 30M/6 year contract all the way back in 2010 and a 6M/3yr contract right after.
Something PD by rumour is in the ball park range right now at in the negotiations in 2021.

Defensively pretty even but Pleky could score.
Pleky was a Koivu-lite kinda player, as in he could step it up and play far above his pay grade for an extended period...

Doesn’t have the offensive ceiling of Plekanec, but has the size / physicality Tomas didn’t possess. Defensively are a wash
Well now.
I was told that Danault was a selfish CANCER. That he was an AWFUL player. He's all a product of Gallagher.

Plekanec had this weird offense. He'd have great instincts. His play suffered when he slowed down, he was not the kind of player that could look good in his mid 30's just by going in front of the net like a Staal or Perry. he lacked the size. When he had his wheels, he had 2-3 years at a level a guy like Koivu never reached imho. On top of that, he had his share of clutch moments and I tend to value that quite highly.

He isn't, but there was something about Plekanecs' offensive game that really makes his stats surprising. He couldn't control the play with the puck on his stick the way Danault does, but somehow he was a more dangerous player offensively. He had the advantage of a better shot, he was lightning-quick and deadly on the counterattack. He was also consistently one of the hardest working players on the ice and very, very smart. It all added up to good offensive numbers.
That’s a cancerous player though...right @Mrb1p
BTW, how Allen do in this last game?
It would seem Burk knows a thing or two about game assignment to his goalies, well, at least tonight he demonstrated that he can

11 points in the last 11 games and a +14. His line has been awesome lately.
Tied for third in the NHL for plus-minus among all forwards too. He truly is terrible.

Assuming we have seen the best from Danault, I'd say pleky was better.
Plekanec had a similar role to danault. I think they were comparable defensively, and that pleky was better offensively. Pleky could be useful on the PP in his heyday, whereas Danault just is not.
Looking back, the habs were fortunate that the Rangers elected for balej instead of plekanec in the kovalev deal.

I do Three bullets.
Gotta give credit where credits due,
He's been playing superbly these passed couple weeks
THATS the guy I remember when he plays at his best, and hes a good player to have on this team WHEN hes playing like this
I STILL wouldnt give him 5m
I STILL think he should be 3rd C in the long run
But its nice to have you back Phil, keep it up, and try to bring it in the playoffs finally please
